MARIETTA, Ga. — Police in suburban Atlanta say a woman whose body was found in a crashed car was apparently shot to death.

Pierce says the woman appears to have died from a gunshot wound. Information on whether the wound appeared to be self-inflicted wasn't available.

The woman's body has been turned over to the county medical examiner, and additional details on the circumstances surrounding her death weren't immediately available.
